Owner & Founder

Tru Balance Bookkeeping helps your service‑based business with your bookkeeping needs. My priority is to equip owners with accurate financials, clear reporting, and forward‑looking insights that strengthen decision making and long‑term stability.

Based in Belleville, IL, I offer bookkeeping and light advisory services to the local community, the surrounding St. Louis metro area and across the country.

Forward-Looking Insights

Guidance that helps you anticipate needs, spot trends early, and make confident decisions before issues surface.

Who is Tru Balance Bookkeeping?

My name is Neil Monroe and I am the Owner of Tru Balance Bookkeeping. I am excited to help you and your business perform, improve and grow it into what you want it to be!

How can I help your business?

Do you spend between 8 and 15 hours each month on bookkeeping, adding up to 96-180 hours per year? When that time is valued at $50-100 dollars per hour, the annual opportunity cost can range from $4,800-18,000. Redirecting this time into billable work, client service, or strategic planning creates far greater value than DIY bookkeeping ever could.

By taking partial or full ownership of the bookkeeping workload, I can help you remove the ongoing cycle of categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, and preparing for tax deadlines. You gain a reliable financial partner who delivers clean monthly financials, proactive reporting, and insights that help you anticipate needs rather than react to problems.

Your typical experience benefits could include:

  • More time available for revenue‑producing work and long‑term planning
  • Reduced administrative stress and fewer interruptions to daily operations
  • Accurate, tax‑ready books that simplify year‑end preparation
  • Clear financial insights that support stronger decisions throughout the year
  • A dependable financial system that supports growth and operational stability

With Tru Balance Bookkeeping, you gain much more than just accurate records. You gain a financial foundation that supports clearer planning, stronger operations, and a measurable increase in both time and financial capacity. This allows you to focus on the work that moves your business forward while knowing your financials are handled with accuracy and care.
